KIRK LONAN.

" The sun's too quick revolving beam,
Apace dissolves the human frame,
And brings the appointed hour;
Too late we catch his parting ray,
And mourn the idly wasted day
No longer in our power."

1789 Mrs Cath. Gell, alias Cosnahan, wife of the Rev.Samuel Gell, January 17th,
When death did call I gladly did obey,
Resolved to turn into my native clay;

Altho' my eyes are closed here in sleep.
Ah! friends, repent, God's sacred word believe,
You see I'm gone, my wages to receive.
